7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
7 Tremble, H2342 thou earth, H776 at the presence H6440 of the Lord, H113 at the presence H6440 of the God H433 of Jacob; H3290
7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob,
7 From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob,
7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the +God of Jacob,
7 Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob,
7 Be troubled, O earth, before the Lord, before the God of Jacob;
Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence, As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence! When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence.
His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled. The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
Hear ye now what the LORD saith; Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice. Hear ye, O mountains, the LORD's controversy, and ye strong foundations of the earth: for the LORD hath a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel.

1-4. of strange language—(compare Ps 81:5).

Judah is put as a parallel to Israel, because of the destined, as well as real, prominence of that tribe.
5-8. The questions place the implied answers in a more striking form.
7. at the presence of—literally, "from before," as if affrighted by the wonderful display of God's power. Well may such a God be trusted, and great should be His praise.
